Sabrina`The Master of Psychic Pokémon
Appearance
[/b]:
Her build is pretty average and her height and weight are not anything spectacular. Sabrina is built just like any other young woman who hasn’t been forced to go through any kind of extreme physical labor but has not sat down at home growing roots in front of the TV either. Her eyes are large and colored and unnatural shade of red and her hair, although raven black can appear to have bluish tones or even purplish tones when under direct sunlight. Her skin tone is a tad on the pale side, but this doesn’t mean she doesn’t go out for walks under the sunlight of any kind.
She carries herself as what she is, headstrong and a leader, after all she is there to protect and defend Saffron City. Because of this she always seems to carry a look of grim determination, making it look like she’d never smile which is far from the truth. Sabrina does enjoy having fun and she would go have some fun more often if she found that she had the time, however because of her duties she rarely can be found in such moods. A fact that is hardly reflected as she never once shows a sign that she would like a break or would even accept one.
Her outfits are rather casual. The colors she wears are normally light in nature (white, purple, soft shades of red, rust red, etc). The Gym Leader’s wardrobe varies greatly, but always remains around the same style –casual and comfort. From tube tops to thick jackets and raincoats, she can be seen wearing anything as long as it is
comfortable to
her and that right there is the key word. Despite the variety of her tops, her bottoms seem to be more of the same thing: jeans and pants. She’s not the type of woman who would wear a skirt, her outfit can be whatever it wants to be but a dang jean is a
must and another thing she would
never wear are high heels, she wears flats, mostly sneakers.
Personality[/b]:
Appearances;; Sabrina appears to be the deadly serious kind of Gym Leader one is almost reluctant to face, she doesn’t smile and she seems to glower rather than look. When you talk to her about her duties she will answer in a monotone, explaining everything almost like she has lived much too long and has repeated the same words over and over again during the cycle of her lifetime. Sometimes she’ll go as far as to avoid talking with anyone in particular by dismissing them with an off-handed remark or comment, something completely irrelevant to the conversation or a white little lie that wouldn’t hurt a fly just for the purpose to shoo them off (them being whoever happens to be talking to her). It’s not that she will not listen to people, but that if they don’t bring an interesting subject to the table and she finds herself in an uncomfortable situation she will try time and time again to shake them off. First she’d try politely, then a tad more rudely, and then maybe she’d weasel her way out someway and so on and so forth, just as long as she’d manage to get them off her.
People are one thing, duty is another. She will never doubt for a single second to help someone, no matter how small the deed if she believes the situation is dire enough, if she believes the person can wait a day or two she might postpone barging in with guns (Pokémon?) blazing, but she will help. Which would reveal another aspect of her, when she makes a promise she will never break it, if she says she’s going to help then you better believe it, be it one hour or weeks, but she will help as promised.
Underneath;; Under all those appearances and duties and work is actually a very fun-loving young woman. Sabrina isn’t at all as dull as she appears to be, in fact she can be a tad of a daredevil if you catch her in the right mood, making decisions at the spur of the moment. She loves a good joke and really will do just about anything just for laughs, which is really completely against the idea she sets. Because of this people who really don’t know her at all might find themselves flabbergasted when they catch her in one of her giggling attacks. Although such events are rare, especially nowadays, they can still occur and when they do one better not exhibit their shock on their face because this would sour up her mood immediately, going from fun and giggly to business-like and serious in virtually no time flat. Sometimes it is better to rein those kind of emotions in and not show any sign of being disturbed by such a display of emotion.
When it comes to the people she has known for some time she can be amazingly sincere, to the point of being horribly blunt. She believes the truth is better than a lie to make you feel better and she can be rather unfeeling when it comes to tell you how horrible your idea is and why. This also explains why she likes hearing the hard cold truth, she might forgive a little white lie, but that doesn’t mean she likes them at all, she prefers knowing the truth at all times and being informed. This Gym Leader is the type to make cold calculating decisions when called for, gathering all her facts before carefully planning her next move, though on occasions she might just go on with the flow to see what happens.
Although her sense of justice seems to be flawed by the fact that she believes there is very little or no justice, when she believes something is wrong she will act, she will not simply sit around and wait for someone to solve her problems for her. However, because of this, although the citizens of Saffron City do admire her and admit she is a fantastic trainer and Gym Leader, she does not receive the same “helpful and friendly” reputation many others receive. Sabrina is not very friendly to begin with, simply vouching or preferring to ignore people or, if a newcomer, believing people would be smart or handy enough to help themselves. Make no mistake, however, she
does help and she
can be friendly, it’s just that simply she might decide against acting on what people would prefer out of her.
She is a big fan of the “help me help you” kind of saying, which is wise to keep in mind, if she helps you it is because she believes you’ll learn something from it and next time around when the same problem comes you will be able to defend yourself a little better.
History[/b]:
Sabrina’s father was a psychic, one with the ability to teleport, so it was no surprise when it was discovered that Sabrina did to when she was a young girl. It all started with her bending a spoon with her mind, at first her father was overjoyed, after all if Sabrina could only obtain a fraction of the psychic powers she might not feel as lonely, lacking any siblings and her mother dying when she was much too young to remember it, maybe she could entertain herself then. And entertain herself she did, bending spoons soon evolved into lifting objects with her mind and even moving them from one side of the room to the other. Soon her amusement turned into something more serious, she now slowly started practicing her psychic abilities in order to learn, in order to grow as what she was. This slowly started to drain the fun out of her gift, since with everyday that passed her tasks seemed to grow grim and more serious. However her father kept insisting, bringing telling her to relax, telling her to take it easy and noticing, for the first time, that his daughter’s powers were far superior than his own.
This led to the meeting of her first Pokémon, an Abra that would remain as her companion for the rest of their lives.
One night when Sabrina ventured to some nearby woods in order to “relax” like her father had suggested she encountered a frightened wild Abra, which happened to not be very fond of company. It attacked Sabrina, leaving her in a feverous for a total of two days, during these days her father remained dutifully by her side, nursing his child back to health. In the second of the nights she had a nightmare in which a Haunter chased her around the woods, when she woke up she had the sick feeling at the pit of her stomach that something was wrong with the Abra she had encountered a few days ago. As soon as she could stand she rushed off into the woods to look for the Abra, her subconscious always aware somehow that
he was in deep pain. Sabrina found him fairly quickly and when she did she discovered the Abra half dead because of a Haunter using Dream Eater on the Abra.
They rushed to her house where the Abra was nursed back to health with the same patience her father had undergone with Sabrina herself and eventually the Abra recovered enough so that it could walk and stand. Around this time it was when Sabrina discovered her connection with the Abra.
A short time after this the Haunter appeared again, however this time Sabrina and Abra managed to defeat it. Abra was never Sabrina’s official Pokémon, yet still the two remained together, which would explain why several months later Sabrina agreed to both her father’s and the Pokémon’s willingness to get caught.
Years later, we would find Sabrina as the Gym Leader of one of the two Gyms of Saffron City. How she came to the position is a long story about training and people learning about her powers. The point is eventually she did, however now the city found itself with two Gyms. Which would explain Sabrina’s decision to challenge the other Gym and when she defeated it, ripped it off its Gym status making her Gym the official and only Gym in Saffron City. Following her success she founded an academy for people sharing her talents were they could learn and harness anything from telekinesis to prediction. Soon her reputation grew to the point where even people as far as the Sevii Islands knew about her powers.
From then on Sabrina was the sole protector of Saffron City and during her first years she remained only within Saffron City, but upon being defeated by a promising trainer her old habits changed and now she wanders from city to city, occasionally even region, but she still remains as the Saffron City Gym Leader, however because of the recent turn of events she travels quickly at any rumor that Team Rocket might be anywhere around Saffron in search of the perpetrators, not wanting to repeat the events at Goldenrod in her own city. Ever since then she sticks close to home, no matter the circumstance.
